TRADE COUNTER GIANT AGREES RETFORD PROPERTY DEAL

Screwfix has been secured as the latest tenant at Strawsons Property's Hallcroft Trade Centre, with the trade counter brand expected to take occupancy early next year.

The business has taken almost 5,000 sq ft at the site as part of a long-term lease agreement with announcement of the deal coincides with the refurbishment and extension of the 1950s era industrial estate to a modern vibrant trade centre.

Over the coming months a further expansion will create additional space for the trade centre, with work scheduled for completion in spring 2019.   

Commercial property agency Brown & Co has been appointed to oversee the letting of The Hallcroft Trade Centre. Senior associate Paul White said that interest in the remaining units 'is high', due to a 'real need for high quality facilities' with good parking and excellent loading access in the area.

Adam Jones of Strawsons Property said: "We are delighted to confirm Screwfix as a tenant on another one of our estates. 

"Hallcroft Trade Centre is currently undergoing a significant refurbishment and expansion programme to modernise the estate so that it continues to be a highly desirable business location for many more years to come. 

"In addition to Screwfix, we are in discussions with a range of interested parties who are looking to take advantage of the remaining units’ prominent location and proximity to other leading trade outlets."
